Abstract
Some people have argued that unemployment is lower, and employment is higher than suggested by official statistics. This paper reviews the evidence and concludes that there is little reason to believe that official figures are significantly wrong. The paper concludes with a discussion of the relationship between wages and employment.Keywords
